COMBINED CURTAlNn-POLE AND CORNICE SUPPORT- No. 806,155. I

Tau/ll whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F ERDYNAND MARCINEK, acitizen ofthe United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Oook and Stateof Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Curtain-Pole and Cor- I nice Support, of which the following is a specification. 1

This invention is a combined curtain-pole and cornice support, and has for its object .to provide improved means for supporting a curtain-pole in position and also for supporting an ornamental cornice or screen of wood or other material in front of the curtain-pole'a'nd the brackets which support the same. The

. device is so laid that the cornice or the like may be swungup out of the way, so that the curtain-pole can be got at when desired.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a window provided with the invention. Fig. 2 is asectional view showing the side of the curtain-rod bracket or support. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing. the cornice or ornamental screen turned 'up and back. Fig. 4 is a detail, partly in section,

-. showing how the supporting-arms for the coring the hanger.

- pieces of the pole-hanger.

nice are adjusted to the desired position. Fig. 5 is a perspective of the bracket for support- Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates the head, and 7 the sides, of the win dow-casing. Secured to the head are a pair of small brackets (shown in Fig. 5) with which the curtain-pole supports are detachably connected. 1 Each of these small brackets consists of a plate 8, screwed to the head of the casing and having at the top and bottom forwardlyprojecting portions 9, which have holes 10.

At each side the plate 8 haswings 11, which are bent inwardly and forwardly to form a clip'to'receive the rear end of the attachingtaching-pieces consists of a sheet-metal plate 12, the rear end of which is formed with an eye 13; The holes 10 and eye 13 receive a pin 14 to hold the parts together. The clips 11 serve to prevent accidental sidewise or lateral swing of the holders.

The plate 12 of each hanger or pole-holder is secured to'a wooden ring 15, which fits at a snug fit inside of another wooden ring 16. The hole 17 in the ring 15 receives the end of the curtain-pole 18. The ring 16 also has in its inner edge a recess to receive a corrugated Specification of Letters Patent.

strip of metal 19, which forms a rack for the spring-pin 20, contained in a recess in the rim of the ring 15, engaging at its head in the corrugations of the plate. a

' The ring 16 may by force be'turned up on the ring 15 for the proper adjustment of the cornice or ornamental device to be hereinafter described, andwhen so adjusted the parts are held as set by the engagement of the pin with the rack.

Secured to the ring 16 is an arm 21, to which the pieces of wood 22 or other material forming the cornice are attached. These pieces extend across from one support to the other and serve to conceal the brackets and the other parts of the supporting device. The curtains are hung over the pole 18 in the usual manner, and the ornamental wooden cornice referred to serves to conceal the unsightly folds at the top of the curtain. When it is desired to remove or arrange the curtains, the arms 21 and the cornice held thereby may be turned pole-support and having means for attachment to a window-casing, of a ring which fits and may be turned upon said r ng and carries a cornice, and dev1ces engaging between the rings, to hold themat relative adjustment.

A combined curtain-pole and cornice support comprising a bracket, aring detachably connected thereto and adaptedto receive the In a similar-manner the end of a curtain-pole, another ring rotatably mounted on saidring and carrying cornicesupporting arms, and yielding devices engaging between the rings to hold them as set.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name' .tothis specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses. FERDYNAND MARGINEK. Witnesses:
